Getting our excuses in already I see , you do talk complete rubbish, we should be winning this

Can't argue with that, got the choice of putting connor to fb and Kelly at 6 to depending how Wynne's going, that's a strong 17

Yes i would go with that team too.Whilst i like Jack Logan, Ratu for me is the better defender and brings the ball out much stronger

Indeed. A contrast with our position unfortunately. Hopefully a close game.

What is it with Hull and injuries over the last year or so? I ask because unlike say Wakefield you seem to get a lot of yours in training rather than matches, late withdrawals or am I wrong, just seems that way to an outsider.

In fairness we had very good runs with injuries in 2016 and 2017, which the clubs in the pack ruing to challenge need to have to win trophies. From last season's game at Fev to now though it's been ridiculous. Not sure the mix of those done in training vs on matchday but I don't think it's conditioning as we have the same team as the years we won trophies. Either way we're pushing double digit absentees again right now when we would have hoped to be back to almost full strength. A lot of teams struggling in this regard, look at Leeds.
Looking forward to this one , near full strength 17, a few rested Monday , only Shaul, mini and Bowden who hasn’t played yet this season missing , going for for a comfortable 36-18 win

Out of your list of 10, as it's been pointed out, only 4 would be considered in the starting 17.
We have a squad of approximately 32 this season to lessen the impact of injuries, although you're setting up the injuries as a reason or justification for a loss should it happen, as you always do. Be more confident like me
We should be winning Sunday when you look at the respective teams regardless, Wakey are missing key personnel in the halfs. Fiffita aside we should be dominating them. I am confident of the win Sunday.
